Food is good quality diner type food. And just what you want on a weekend morning when you can treat yourself. All of the breakfast dishes were good (been here twice and had pancakes, breakfast burrito and regular breakfast dish with eggs/toast). One thing that makes you want to come back and enjoy the experience is the service. Joe and Kelly (forgive me if names aren't correct) are great. Joe has been my primary server on both visits and he not only calls everyone friend he treats you like a friend. I'll be back again!

We loved this place when we lived in Lakewood. Our favorite lil hole in the wall! Everyone is so friendly, but in the real kind of way, like a classic diner. The food is nice, prices very good, good coffee, and the perfect atmosphere for a weekend brunch.

Hands down the best blueberry pancakes I’ve ever had anywhere-you will dream of these!
And their whole menu is both comfort food with great creative twists-the chorizo breakfast tacos & their eggs Benedict are what I cannot seem to stop ordering to try something else! Great menu with super reasonable prices, with both breakfast & brunch type items, everything fresh & totally cooked quickly to order.
Darling, clean, cheerful cafe with very friendly, professional service-owner is local and runs the cafe herself! Rae, my server, is so great & remembers your orders when you eat there more than a couple of times, which we have. Every time we eat there I wonder why I eat anywhere else for breakfast!
Expect a line out the door on weekends, but it’s a friendly line & this place is worth the wait!

called to ask if they had a wait and immediately the dude on the phone was rude. “yes there’s a wait, dude idk how long it’ll be, whatever just come here, it might be half and hour might be an hour” and then hung up on me. unbelievably unprofessional and a huge turn off to try the restaurant if that’s who they staff there. so sorry i called your establishment to ask the #1 question people call to ask about, definitely wouldn’t spend my money on people who are annoyed to have customers 🤷🏻♀️

Small place. Cute atmosphere. Friendly staff. The food, bleh. Such a disappointment. The hot honey chicken & waffle would've been great had the chicken not been hockey pucks. Overcooked and hard to cut into, let alone eat. They told me sorry but didn't offer to remake the chicken. High priced meal for a poorly made meal.

Stuffed French toast was amazing. The omelet was also good, but oddly flat. Will definitely be returning.

I’ve been coming to this restaurant for years and have never had an experience that wasn’t amazing. My go to order is the bacon eggs Benedict, but everything I’ve tried is perfection. This place is magic!

Split 2 entrees and pancakes between 2 people. Was overpriced for the amount of food they give. Free coffee is quite nice.

Good old school breakfast, not a health food spot. A favorite amongst the well to do pretending to be middle class lol, it’s fun and non-pretentious. Get there at 8am as everybody rushes the door. By 8:15 you’ve usually got an hour waiting list as the dining area only seats about 18.
